Basically the title. I found out Sunday morning that I was pregnant. I had a hard time getting pregnant with my first so I wasn’t really worried about being super careful. I know people say that all the time and I should have known better. But here we are lol. I’m just starting to feel better after struggling pretty severely with postpartum depression and ocd.

I had was beginning to accept that I really was pregnant and then at my OB appointment on Wednesday she tells me there’s two in there. I’ve pretty much been in shock since.

We wanted more kids, and honestly I have always thought it would be cool to have twins. Just maybe not less than 18 months after having my first. And now I obviously want them both to make it since they’re in there.

To top it all off, my husband was laid off from his job due to the office closing about 6 months ago. He got another job but the insurance cost for the three of us was about 85% of his paycheck. So he only got insurance for himself since self pay for our daughter and myself would be cheaper than the monthly premium. I would probably qualify for Medicaid and my daughter for CHIP, but neither my OB or PCP take Medicaid and my daughter’s pediatrician doesn’t take CHIP. I live in the US if you can’t tell from this horror story.

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I just am spiraling a little and feeling very overwhelmed. I needed to get it all off my chest.
